Or a not so good home, doesn't matter.I've got 2 old road bikes that are of no use to me. Not exactly exotica but I'm sure someone can do something with these. They're taking up space in my shed.Both are a bit rusty.If you don't want to take them from me for free, I could do with a used set of 27 x 1 1/4, 26x1.9 or 700c road tyres.

Roadmaster - Hey, the l/h crank arm still has some protective film on it, chrome is sweet as! That's a plus.

I've been offered a damaged Vitus 979 as a swap for my 86 Miyata 1400 Alumitech . The Vitus has loose tubes which I'm assuming just need re-glueing and it's group set is made up of a mixture of Campag, Zeus with a Shimano drive train and maybe Mavic hubs/rims.

It's tempting but I wonder what some of you thought? My Miyata is in pretty good nick and I was thinking of ebaying it anyway.

I've got a few bits and pieces that aren't doing much at the moment, thought I'd update my swap list. If anyone is interested in anything let me know, happy to give away the crummy stuff for postage cost if anyone wants it.

I'm looking for some Michelin Wildgripper MTB tyres 26 inch in the green/amber combination. I have money to swap! or some random shimano bits and pieces. My wtb thread in the member to member section:viewtopic.php?f=25&t=62770

I've been noticing this thread doesn't get much love lately, and also been seeing quite a few people looking for small bits and pieces to finish off builds. I reckon between everyone on this part of the forum we'd have almost anything anyone is looking for, so was thinking of trying to revive this swap idea a bit.

Feel free to ignore if you think this is a bad idea, but I think it would be good to keep this going more along the lines of a Retro WTB/WTT thread. Rather than us posting lists of dags we have lying around, people could just ask for things they need and update their posts as they tick things off the list.

I think there's a general spirit of helpfulness and paying it forward on this sub-forum that you don't get through some of the more mercenary online sales sites. I've been the recipient of some very generous people on here, and would like to be a part of the cycle going forward (see what I did there? )

Anyway, not sure if it would be best in this thread, or in a new one, or in the new WTB sub-forum. Any thoughts?

Maybe not an open editable doc - too much room for treading on people's toes and the doc being messed up I would reckon.

How about a Google Group or similar where everyone with wares to offer lists bits, say under their BNA user names, in their own document. It's Read-Only to other people, and the owner is responisble for deleting items as obtained or swapped?

Probably other open/free online collaborative tools that might do the job as well.
